Hi! Did you receive an e-bike rebate last year (provided thru @wsdot.wa.gov) and use it to purchase a bike? I’d love to chat with you about how e-bike access affected your travel habits and options, for the WSDOT Blog! Please DM me here or contact Hannah dot Weinberger at WSDOT dot WA dot gov.

WA Bikes seeks 'presumed liability,' e-moto clarifications and preserved safe streets funding in 2026 state legislative session + One bill gets hearing Jan 14 #SEAbikes #Seattle

Yesterday’s killing of Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good proves the dangers of Trump’s campaign of terror via ICE across our country. ICE officers appear to not only be acting with impunity, but the explicit approval and support of the president and his administration.

Abolish ICE

Earlier this week, a pedestrian was killed on 175th Street in Shoreline. Despite what you may have heard on social media, this was not an isolated incident. local.interurbancanopy.news/p/another-fa...

CM Saka will continue to chair Transportation Committee, Rinck joins as Vice-Chair #SEAbikes #Seattle

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

A severely car-brained man decided to spew some toxic brain exhaust at me and my kid yesterday. Scared my kid a bit, but I just disengaged and ignored him (which made him more mad because I guess he wanted to fight me in front of my kid?). He eventually ran out of mouth froth and drove away.

Saka's hiring of Brendan Kolding is not going over well on the West Seattle Blog. westseattleblog.com/2026/01/city...

We have to talk about Alexis Mercedes Rinck's speech today.

Rode the newly protected Ravenna blvd bike lanes finally. They’re awesome BUT citywide that project would be like #100 on my list lol. They weren’t even that bad before. Also the parts that were really bad (intersections where u r sandwiched btwn left and straight going cars) aren’t better at all 😥

Is there any reasonable way to bike from Auburn or the Interurban to Federal Way Downtown? Something that doesn't involve climbing a hill on a highway with no shoulder. Indirect is fine.

Did you try this cheap transit trick today? Let us know how it went. Taking Lime to transit is cheaper than walking…if you are willing to use a terrible app and park in very specific places.

Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated. It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans. And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question. My deep dive, in Bloomberg 🧵

The Lime + transit hack explained: How to get a Lime ride and 3 transit tickets for $1.66* #SEAbikes #Seattle

Sometimes I am writing a story and think, "Hey, I wonder if anyone has ever written about this before." So I do a web search and find an old story...written by me.

More good news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.2% in October! Or to quote the PDA's own words the market has had "exceptional sales performance of our tenants." (pikeplacemarket.community.highbond.com/document/fd1...) 📈 So far every month of the pedestrianization pilot sales have been up!

It would be horrible for the Seattle Curbed archive to just vanish.

Just confirmed this Lime + transit hack works.

Yes, questions such as, “What are you going to do to stop this illegal war for oil, Senator?”

About 200 people are rallying in downtown Seattle to denounce U.S. military strikes on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president Nicolás Maduro. The attacks occurred overnight and were authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump. Organizers called for a new anti-war movement to oppose the attacks.

Another war for oil. These monsters only know greed and cruelty.

I highlighted some good and some bad things about biking in the greater Seattle area in 2025 in my latest video. Check it out: youtu.be/qr-A-UbCXOg #SEAbikes

I will gladly look at your crappy sketch on the back of a napkin or read your poorly-punctuated and half-baked thought. But I will not appreciate or engage with an image you asked a plagiarism bot to generate for you or read the well-formatted bot-generated text you emailed me.

Me: Doc, I need to use the time machine to go back in time 100 years. Doc: To prevent the Great Depression? To stop Hitler before he could rise to power? Me: No, something even bigger.

Great to see @seattledot.bsky.social out on the Union St parking protected bike lanes this morning improving visibility at intersections! This is part of the Even Better Bike Lanes project @sngreenways.bsky.social has advocated for. Cc @jseattle.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com

Legislators need to pronounce this proposal as dead on arrival. The climate crisis is getting worse, and Trump is determined to stop climate action. We need these funds to go to build the infrastructure and services needed to reduce climate pollution - as voters made clear when they approved it.

Oh no! Do you need a last-minute gift for someone who likes bikes? I got you. Select local pickup (Wallingford/U District) from the Seattle Bike Blog shop! I'll be around all evening and even tomorrow. www.seattlebikeblog.com/shop/ #SEAbikes #Seattle

80% of people in the Westlake Station mezzanine have no idea which way to go.

I just Limebiked a half mile to the light rail station. It turned a 12-minute walk into a 4-minute ride and cost $1.66 after tax.

After pricing overhaul, 20-minute bike and scooter rides now cost the same as transit fare for LimePrime subscribers #SEAbikes #Seattle

1/🧵 2025 was a transformational year for walking, biking, rolling, and transit in Seattle. After years of delays, long-promised projects finally opened—thanks to sustained community advocacy. Here is a look at what opened this year 👇 www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...
